An Honest Review ...
Pros:

Convenience of the location that I can just find food anywhere nearby. Getting a cab/taxi is not a problem at all. A lot of cabs around the area.

Cons:

The single bed was not facing the TV. By right all beds should be facing the TV. The bath and shower is not separated from the room, no door, no curtain and all widely open making it inconvenient for family with kids. There is a wide range of food within the vicinity including local food and fast food all within a couple of rows or blocks away but there is not a single cafe or restaurant that serves western breakfast such as sausages, bacon or chicken ham, and it is unhealthy for kids to eat KFC, Burger King and McDonalds all the time. The local food around the area are more mixed with a fusion style and spicyness which aren't suitable for kids.

Decent room but a few snags
Pros:

Nice amount of space and good bathroom facilities. Bed was comfy and decent cleaning service. Location was decent, we hired bikes and were able to get into the centre quickly, also a choice of 2 metro stations nearby 5-10 mins walk away.

Cons:

Very disappointed that the jets in the bathtub didnt work - was one of the deciding factors in choosing this room type! Also the room was HOT, I couldnt get the air conditioning to work properly the whole time. The staff weren't as welcoming as you might hope.

Decent if you don't plan on spending too much time in your room
Pros:

The property wasn't a really cool tucked convenient location downtown easy to get to things and close to a 711.

Cons:

The advertisement in the photo described in the pictures and inside of the elevators of the facility do not resemble what you would typically get within your stay. Our hotel had two beds. There were several stains did not look like the pictures whatsoever my tub no shower did not work only the retractable showerhead, which I just had to sit in and wash up and rinse the towels that were given were a bit small but that's OK. They came in and clean daily that was not a problem. In the beds were actually pretty comfortable.
